It was a blessing to listen to their extreme innocence. They knew nothing of the harsh reality of life that waited for them out there the young mother wished for nothing more than to shield them away from the horrible truths forever and always. A loving chuckle was released as Laruku’s comment about Akeni led to a peculiar question from Maluki. She could have pointed out that the boys weren’t always silent sleepers themselves, but her daughter was not here to hear this, so she found it was best to remain quiet. ”No, she is not,” she softly uttered, though found it impossible to insert a firm tone in her voice. ”It’s just the way she sleeps. Daddy snores too!”[/html]
Silky paws shifted as she observed her two sons and the poor meat between them. A snow white ear pulled back in quiet wonder, for she could not imagine herself at their age. Colibri wished to be able to give them everything that her mother had not; wished to be able to give them a childhood full of love and warmth. There would be no monsters here. Already she had failed at the task of protecting all of her children, but she would not abandon those who still lived. ”Be careful, boys,” she softly breathed as the two puppies started their tug o war with the meat. She believed she knew the end results.
